The air changed, the bitter cold of desert night lost its edge.

They did not speak at all for the duration of their journey through the desert night.

The desert night was still, the wind for once asleep like everything else.

We had a good moon, and the desert night was bright.

The desert night was cold, but they stood in tense silence for a moment.

At last the chill darkness of a desert night came down on the land.

Stepping outside, I closed the door behind me and stood alone in the soft desert night.

It was cold, as desert nights were apt to be.

The night was cold, as desert nights are apt to be.

The cold of the desert night began to make itself felt.
